I am taking an online early childhood credit at my local community college.  This fortnight, we are learning about sibling rivalry.  I found my notes on this topic helpful to parents with more than one kid.

Why do siblings fight?

Siblings tend to fight about:  toys, parents attention, sharing food, calling names, TV to name a few.

I found the following solutions from the articles I read really helpful:

  • describing the feeling of the children during the conflict
  • not comparing between children
  • commenting only on the disagreeable behavior
  • giving according to the sibling’s individual need
  • letting children work out the problem on their own
  • exposing them to different interests to avoid conflict
  • coaching your children by using appropriate words
  • the parent should model the behavior for their children
  • discussing the problem when the children are calm
  • focusing on the problem and not on finding who is to blame
  • arriving at a compromise, making it a win-win situation
  • problem solve by writing down possible solutions involving the children
  • parents should be proactive in giving children attention
  • assuring each sibling of your love and that their needs will be met
  • have fun as a family to increase the children’s bond with the parent
  • creating a schedule for use of equipment eg tv, video games
  • hold family meetings,reminding children of the rules
  • organising separate activities with each sibling occasionally
  • I read this from a love and logic book:  saying enforceable statements, for example if the children are fighting in the car say:  ‘I charge $2/min from your allowance to listen to children that are fighting’, instead of ‘stop fighting!’
